Thanks for being the best source of easy AI news

"... absent an invasion of Taiwan by China." ... that this is not hyperbole, but a necessary qualification for your prediction says a lot about the state of the world.

Ever since AlphaGo and other projects completely defied expert predictions by multiple decades, I've realized even the experts have no clue what the future holds with this technology. Truly, we are at the base of a massive exponential trend that will likely peak mid to late century, but at this point it would not surprise be if that peak arrived much earlier than anticipated.

AI Explained: the ONLY channel where I click like first, and then watch all the way through, every time. Great work, Philip.

I guess the reason behind Hopefield and Hinton winning physics is simply because cutting edge physics is at a stand-still atm. There is nothing Nobel-worthy the past couple of decades in pure physics that hasn't already won. I think it was a good pick. AI is used heavily for analysis in practical physics.

20:30. "Break-out" status, would mean it goes main stream, much like when Chat-GPT broke out of the academic circles and into mainstream consciousness.

Thanks so much for your work here. The jailbreaking aspect is one I hadn't been keeping myself refreshed on in particular.

I paused so much and went reading the source, Youtube should be showing you 1.5h watch time from me. Thanks for the video, I didn't know about this report.

Running an auto-encoder on brain stimuli is kinda crazy

[zacbergart]

YouTube played an ad just this channels said that it was about to play a video showing the AI generating audio at the same time as video... it actually took me a second to realize what had happened (but not before I thought: "damn... this is really good!")

“Streets Ahead”, a fellow community fan 😂. Great work as always.

phillip ai continues to be the frontier model for parsing and analyzing the latest papers in AI news

[austinpatteson]

The guy is talking about AI being smarter than us in 5-20 years? Mate it's been smarter than me for two years now lol

[willmorrow]

11:17 “Stop trying to make streets ahead a thing, Pierce”

[TheAIPivot]

omg I love all the Pikaffects throughout 🤣🤣

[huggeebear]

It’s very clear to me that Ilya was the heart and soul of OpenAI while Sam was PT Barnum..

[colinharter]

Spending $3 billion dollars on training is already preposterous by itself, but it becomes even more ridiculous when you remember that those costs are probably heavily subsidized by Microsoft and the "real" market cost of that training is considerably higher

[justinleemiller]

This channel is excellent! Thank you for all of your hard work 🙏🏽

about the break-out part on the 10th prediction. A quick google search gave me this definition: "General Usage: In everyday language, a break-out can describe a sudden and notable event or achievement, such as a breakout performance in a movie or a breakout hit song."

14:20 "Aspirational brainstorming notes" 😂😂
